I was typing on the computer and Orlando was doing gymnastics all over the guest bed and he said, “Hey, Mama! Say guess what!”
I kept my eyes on the computer screen and said, “Guess what?”
“Chicken butt!” Uncontrollable giggly laughter spilled out of his tumbling body.
Keep your eyes on the screen. Don’t laugh, don’t laugh.
“Say guess who!”
Suppressing a little giggle, I breathed out, “Guess who?”
“Chicken butt!”
Okay, I laughed. Who can withstand two chicken butts within one minute?
For an insane instant I thought, Oh my goodness! The Guess What joke is written in our genetic code!
I came to my senses, and asked, genuinely curious, “Hey, Boo, did you make that up on your own?”
“No! Josh told me at the park!” More laughing, more giggling, oh, the undeniable hilarity of chicken butts!
Please help me, but I’m going to teach him some knock-knock jokes, some without chicken butts.
Got any good ones?
